Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Because you are such a strong communicator today, this is a great day for those of you who sell, market, teach, act, write, edit or even drive for a living. Whether in thought, speech or action, you will instinctively make a straight beeline from point A to point B. Zap!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You feel rather aggressive about financial matters today. This means you are aggressively spending or aggressively looking for ways to reduce your debt. Could go either way. The bottom line is simply this: You want immediate results for something. Now!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today the Sun is in your sign, bolstered by fiery Mars. This combo gives you enormous energy and confidence. You’ll have no trouble asserting yourself. In fact, you will welcome any competition and will certainly stand up for your rights or the rights of others.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You will be surprisingly successful working alone or working behind the scenes today because you have lots of energy to research anything that interests you. You’ve got the bit between your teeth and you’re going to go after any information or answers you seek. “Gotcha!”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You’ll be successful in your dealings with groups today whether they are casual get-togethers, classes or large conferences. Your energy is strong, which means you will immediately connect with others. They will, of course, clue in that you have a strong sense of purpose!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You can make a great impression on bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today. You have strength of purpose, focus and a strong physical presence in the eyes of others. This is why others will listen to you even if they are senior to you. (“Listen up folks, here’s what we’re going to do …”)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is an excellent day to study, learn something new or explore any new field. Naturally, you’ll love travelling and talking to people from other cultures. It’s also a strong day for those of you in publishing, higher education, the media, medicine and the law. Go, go, go!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Intimate relationships will be unusually physically passionate today. (Be still my beating heart.) You will also take a firm stance on disputes about shared property, inheritances and insurance matters. (You feel very sure of yourself.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Conversations with partners and close friends will be unusually vibrant and dynamic today. You feel feisty and so do they! If you sense that someone is simply going to stand their ground, accept this and back off. Co-operation is the key today.

If Your Birthday Is Today
Film director/screenwriter Patricia Rozema (1958) shares your birthday today. You are soft-spoken, socially charming and friendly, yet there is also a quiet quality of secrecy about you. (You want to know who you truly are.) You have a vivid imagination and easily empathize with others. When the situation requires, you are more courageous than the average person. A lovely social year ahead awaits you that will bless all your relationships.
